281.
Traps
for
Snails.
Snails
are
particularly
fond
of
bran;
if
a
little
is
spread
on
the
ground,
and
covered
over
with
a
few
cabbage-leaves
or
tiles,
they
will
congregate
under
them
in
great
numbers,
and
by
examining
them
every
morning,
and
destroying
them,
their
numbers
will
be
materially
decreased.
282.
Grubs.
Grubs
on
orchard
trees,
and
gooseberry
and
currant
bushes,
will
sometimes
be
sufficiently
numerous
to
spoil
a
crop;
but
if
a
bonfire
be
made
with
dry
sticks
and
weeds
on
the
windward
side
of
the
orchard,
so
that
the
smoke
may
blow
among
the
trees,
you
will
destroy
thousands;
for
the
grubs
have
such
an
objection
to
smoke,
that
very
little
of
it
makes
them
roll
themselves
up
and
fall
off:
they
must
be
swept
up
afterwards
and
destroyed.
283.
Caterpillars
and
Aphides.
A
garden
syringe
or
engine,
with
a
cap
on
the
pipe
full
of
very
minute
holes,
will
wash
away
these
disagreeable
visitors
very
quickly.
You
must
bring
the
pipe
close
to
the
plant,
and
pump
hard,
so
as
to
have
considerable
force
on,
and
the
plant,
however
badly
infested,
will
soon
be
cleared,
without
receiving
any
injury.
Afterwards
rake
the
earth
under
the
trees,
and
kill
the
insects
that
have
been
dislodged,
or
many
will
recover
and
climb
up
the
stems
of
the
plants.
Aphides
may
also
be
cleared
by
means
of
tobacco
smoke,
but
after
this
has
been
applied
the
plant
should
be
well
syringed.
